Proverbs 1:31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way.God’s method of punishmentIt is to let us punish ourselves.

When a man is “cursed with every granted prayer” he learns by bitter experience that it is possible to be his own worst enemy. His long-indulged desires become tyrannical... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Proverbs 1:25

Pro 1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: Ver. 25. But ye have set at naught. ] As those recusant a guests in the Gospel that pretended they therefore came not, because they had bought farms and oxen; but indeed it was because their farms and oxen had bought them. They had either so much to do, or so little to do, that they could not make use of so fair an offer, so sweet advice and advantage. And would none of my reproof. ] Ruinam praecedunt... read more

Pro 1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; Ver. 26.
